Julie Darmody

Mosaic

THE DEALMAKER: While Mosaic is defined by Jimmy Miller’s superstar comedy clients, the management company is run by Julie Darmody, who began as a Miller assistant 15 years ago. She oversees seven managers and the cross-pollination between their clients that has led to films such as “Elf” and “Land of the Lost.”

“Julie’s an old-school manager who has been about what fits long-term rather than what makes quick money,” Henchy says. “I remember being put into a roundtable punch-up for ‘Scooby-Doo,’ and her introducing me to Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. (We) later came up with the idea for FunnyOrDie. I feel my career was made by that one weekend gig.”

KEY DEALS: Reviving the kidvid Krofft creations by guiding movie transformations “Land of the Lost” and “Sigmund and the Sea Monsters” at Universal and “H.R. Pufnstuf” at Sony; helping Silverman continue a surge that began with the creation of her Comedy Central show; placing “Entourage” scribe Henchy to run Gary Sanchez for Ferrell and McKay.
